GREASE-CUP.

1T0 all whom itmag concern:

Be it known that I, Anznno J. DILLEY,

a citizen of the United States, and resident of Muir,in the county of Ionia, in the State of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Grease-Cups, of which the 1 following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and

exact description.

This invention relates to certain improvements in grease cups.

The primary object of the invention is to produce a grease cup adapted to be loaded with a collapsible grease containing capsule, and one that is practicable and efiicient for commercial use and requ res but a minimum amount of space when assembled for use.

Another object relates to the capsule holder and puller for initiallyholding the capsule in desired position and for removing'it from the bottom of the grease cup i when the grease is all discharged from the capsule.

Another object relates to the specific form and construction of the collapsible capsule,

in combination with specific co-acting porjtionsofthe structure of the grease cup.

Other objects and advantages will appear 1 from. the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying draw- 1 formed with a discharge opening -3- and a threaded nozzle t leading therefrom.

A flanged cap -5 is provided for coacting engagement with the body 1' and adapted to close the same, and preferably the external portion of the body is threaded and the-internal portion of the flange upon the cap is likewise threaded for cooperative engagement with each other. Within the cap 5- is arranged and secured a circular disk 6-, preferably formed of thin flexible sheet metal and having integral fin- Specification of Letters Patent.

gers 7- and -8' preferably diametrically disposed and extending parallel with the axis of the cap 5 and having their ends inturned'and formed with hook portions .9-' and -10-, respectively, for a purpose hereinafter described.

A screw or threaded rod -+1lis provided having a reduced shank 12 upon which is mounted a washer -l3-- rigidly secured to the rodand in assembled condition lying in contact with the disk 6-- within the cap 5-, the shank -12 extendingthrough the disk and through the cap and having a handle 1i mounted thereon externally of the cap, the handle -1l and washer -18- constituting stops positioned upon opposite sides of the cap for preventing longitudinal movement of the screw -l1.

Upon the screw 11-, a suitable plunger 1 5- is mounted, preferably of a diameter substantially equal to the interior diameter of the body 1- and provided with opposite slots 16 and l7- in which the.

fingers 7 and -8 are positioned to prevent rotation of the plunger.

The grease capsule l9- is, as shown, of cylindrical form and of slightly less diameter than the interior diameter of body l and entirely open at one end, its opposite end being closed except for a central perforation -18 of a size adapted to receive the screw 11. The capsule is mounted on the cap -5- by inserting the screw 11 in perforation 18 and forcing the capsule down toward the plunger 15 until the hooks -9 and 10- engage over the open end of the capsule, it being understood that the plunger -l5 is retracted into substantial contact with washer -13- by turning handle l4= before the capsule is mounted within the cap. This assembled condition is best shown in Fig. 2.

The grease may be forced from the cup and the capsule collapsed by turning handle -14, whereby the plunger -13 is moved toward the transverse wall -2- forcing the grease through the discharge opening 3- and collapsing the capsule as it moves. W'hen the grease is all discharged from the capsule, the handle '14- may be turned in the reverse direction to retract the plunger, the cap may be unscrewed from the body por Although is have shown, anddescribed T I to conjtain a grease capsule a cap removably' r secured. to :thefb'odyportion, a-longltudr 7.
